Deputies think the gunman thwarted a carjacking or a robbery, explaining that he feared for his safety when he fired the gun, which was in his Toyota Camry legally. But the investigators had not found anyone else who saw the incident.

"There might have been one car in front of him at the light," Brady said. "We don't know if that car pulled off. (Deputies) checked the area, but they didn't find anyone."

The gunman told deputies he was driving on Ladson Road when he stopped for a red light at U.S. 78. That's when Grant got out of a vehicle that had stopped behind the gunman, deputies said.

"(Grant) was grabbing on the door, pulling on the handle," Brady said. "He may have banged on the (passenger) window."

That's when the driver shot through the glass, killing the would-be burglar with a single shot.

Oh, sounded like three cars and the last car had the 'gunman' who witnessed the attempt. Clearly it was the 'gunman' who was being attempted CJed. Mea culpa
